Is this growing mold?

This is an unscented uncolored batch- I cut it and put it in a zip top bag so it wouldn’t dry out before I rebatched it
Did I wait too long and it’s growing mold? It went through partial gel, and the only place I’m seeing these markings are the gelled areas

 

I don't know, but soap dough which doesn't gel and is put in an airtight container to keep it soft lasts for a long time. So I find it interesting that only the gelled portion is affected.

 

No, no mold.

 

It looks like stearic swirls in the centre part to me.
If you soap a bit warmer you will avoid this and will be also more likely to get full gel.

 

I also thought stearic spots.

 

Likewise. Stearic spots.
